Nice

This morning we set off for a day trip to Nice, a 22k drive. 

Our first stop was the March aux Fleurs...the Flower Market. 

Flowers, fruit and vegetables were the main items on offer...

From there we walked along the waterfront Promenade des Anglais,

lots of people were sunbathing on the pebbles!

Around the Point de Rauba-Capaeu is 

the sheltered Nice harbour and marina...

We enjoyed a baguette in the sunshine for lunch 
and then set off for Eze. As we left Nice we noticed 
a woman and young girl on a motorbike. 
When we pulled up beside them we noticed a dog 

sandwiched between them.lf you look carefully you'll see 
the dogs head on the right shoulder of the young girl and the tail sticking out under her left arm!

We drove along one of the three corniches, spectacular coastal roads with some vertiginous bends...a jaw dropping experience!

We spent a couple of hours wandering around Eze, 

a rocky little medieval village perched on an impossible peak with small higgledy-piggledy stone houses and winding lanes. 

It is delightful and the views of the coast are mesmerising.

We sat and shared an ice-cream sundae gazing over the spectacular panorama before heading home for a quiet night. We had just left Eze when Peta rang and told us she was safe...we hadn't heard about the attack in Stockholm...she was at work and everyone stayed together and had dinner until the trains started running again...as I write this she is on her way home and ringing us along the way to let us know she is OK...we'll be pleased when she is home safe and sound in an hour or two. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those killed and injured today.

Our pedometer reading for today was 10.7 k's.
